PS3 controller scrapped

[news=http://www.clintonspace.co.uk/PS3HACKS/GDC/scrapped.jpg]Looks like the PS3 controller that we have all come to love so much (Yeah right) has been scrapped. The controller so often referred to as the 'Boomerang' is being scrapped in favor of a more sleek design according to some sources. The controller wasn't recieved too well by its own fan base, which has prompted sony to take a fresh look into the situation to see if they can come up with a better design which would be benificial to all, and just plain liked more by its core fans.... Again, details on the expected new design are under lock and key. They'll have to do a pretty good job on the design I'd expect as there have been many a concept design created by sonys fanbase which would be worthy of mass production themselves... [/news]

Damn, I actually liked the design..

Damn and it was wireless. I could get rid of my guns and just use that as a weapon instead....and it would always come back to me.:(

not to sure about this especially since the ps3 is "supposed" to cum out in 7 months. scrap and redesign in that little of time. doubtful.

I never liked the design anyway.
Curious to see what the new controller wil look like.

Its only a controller. They could redesign it 100 times in 7 months.

No they still have to produce the consoles to be sold which prolly takes 5 months.

i really happen to like ps2-style dualshock controllers. they should just improve on that design with the wireless and whatnot.

Duuuude the whole reason they are changing the design is because they HAVE to. They got sued for the design...so did Microsoft but they won (obviously they used their money to their advantage).

They don't have to change the design. Wasn't the whole lawsuit over the dual shock vibration thing?

It's only the computer controlled vibration shock. M$ paid out. Sony didn't and lost.

Sony appealed the case.

there original controllers are what symbolize ps1 or 2 and getting rid of them is stupid, i think they should stick with the old dualshock

What I don't understand is why they waited so damn long to sue them. I mean the PS2 is 6 years old almost now along with the dualshock controllers. Wtf is the point of that. I'm glad M$ won, I love my Xbox 360 controller. :happy:

dammit!

lets hope the new controller is better

i'm waiting on the url to show proof.
